Summary - 11 TAIT STREET CARLISLE CA1 1RU
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Three-bedroom period terrace with strong rental yield potential, close to Carlisle city centre.
Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse with period features
A Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse in central Carlisle, this three-bedroom property offers strong rental potential in a compact, characterful package. Located off Botchergate and minutes from the city centre, the house benefits from good transport links, local amenities and fast broadband — attractive to students and professionals. The cellar provides useful ancillary space and an enclosed rear courtyard adds outdoor privacy despite the small plot.
The property is offered chain free and freehold, with an indicative rental yield of approximately 8.5%, making it a clear option for investors or first-time buyers seeking income. Internally the house retains period features such as stripped wooden floorboards, sash-style windows and a traditional stairwell, though room sizes are modest.
Important considerations: the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment permissions. The area has high crime statistics and is classed as deprived, which could affect tenant mix and resale. The house would benefit from moderate cosmetic updating to kitchen and bathroom fittings to maximise rental income or capital growth.
Practical positives include no flood risk, low council tax banding and on-street permit parking. Overall this is a centrally located period terrace suited to buyers prepared to manage listing constraints and invest in targeted improvements for income or future resale.
